Hi,
i use Actipro RibbonWindow as a MainWindow in my Application. By checking of all opened windows with Application.Current.Windows i found a window with the title "ActiproWindowChromeShadow" among other. What is that and what purpose has that object? I want to close all opened windows when a user is inactive for long time.
Regards
Hi John,
That is the outer glow effect for a window that has a WindowChrome applied (like RibbonWindow does) when in a Metro theme. It watches the owner window and auto-closes when the owner window closes. So in your case, it will close when you close the RibbonWindow.
Can I abort this effect? i have a problem with my codeduitests, my controls are hidden by other element and i can't found why.
Hello,
It shouldn't really conflict with any UI since it's always updated to be behind the Window it's attached to in terms of z-order. You could use a different theme other than a Metro theme when running UI tests if it's causing problems. No other themes use it.
